Vivid mode - still a way to turn off?

Hi.

My back-up plan is sunglasses, but hopefully there's still a way to mute the brightness on here - my optic nerves are screaming! :-)

  • I noticed the new settings seem to have a different hue of white than the previous background. 

    I have since looked up the difference between hue,  tint, tone,  shade. I'm confident "hue" is the correct term. (Tint is with added white....I don't think white can be added to white. Maybe it's more of a "tone" as the new white looks slightly more grey than the previous white...although my retinas are not telling me it's duller....).

    ANYWAY, we are pleased you have successfully resurfaced,

    That's kind, o_o_s, lovely to see you too. Interesting you should mention the hues thing (and not just cos of the hue and cry over the forum changes) - the other day I ran into that distinction when I was thinking through (and googling about) this question: 'if white is all colours at once, and black is no colours, then what is grey'? I'm a big fan of soft greys, so much easier on the eye when online.

    I think that grey is when all wavelengths of light are absorbed equally, but not as efficiently as a black surface would. Or grey can be considered as an inefficient white. White is reflecting all wavelengths equally. It is when a surface reflects and absorbs wavelengths of light in a differential way that it appears to have a colour.
